Lulu,
An Auschwitz Fairytale tells the story of a young Jewish clown forced
on the trains to Auschwitz by the Nazis. She starts the journey with her
family; however,upon their arrival they are separated and Lulu, the young
clown, is forced to experience the horrors of Auschwitz alone. Lulu plays,
sings, and dreams herwaythrough the camp finding surprises in every moment
despite the constant threats of the Nazis.

The
play is loosely based on Karine Koret’s grandmother's story of survival
in Auschwitz. She is the granddaughter of survivors on both sides of her
family. Karine Koret and director Shlomi Golan embark on a journey that
challenges the way we are used to thinking about the Holocaust by bringing
humor to the darkest moments in history.

Lulu,
An Auschwitz Fairytale is a play that celebrates wonder and demonstrates
how a third generation survivor shines new light on a familiar story.

karine koret and shlomi golan

"A
clown in Auschwitz is almost an impossible combination, however in the
the daring and creative performance of Koret, magic of the kind only possible
in theater occurs."
